Accommodation

This page is designed to provide current students with information concerning their accommodation arrangements in College. If you do not find the information you require, please contact the Accommodation Manager, Magdalena Robinson, who can advise you upon all undergraduate & graduate accommodation matters.

The College is not able to guarantee accommodation to new graduate students, and applications will generally be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis throughout the year. Towards the end of this cycle, the following system of priority (highest to lowest) will be used to determine which new graduates can be offered one of the remaining rooms, and which graduates must be placed on the waiting list. This priority system is also used to manage the waiting list itself.

Graduates with health/welfare needs

Overseas graduates (including those from the European Union)

UK non-Oxford graduates

Other graduates

Please note that new graduates must meet the financial conditions of their offer before they are able to apply for accommodation, or to be added to the waiting list.
